lPPROA.Cn   my  soul,   the    mercy-seal, 

Whore  Jesus  answera   prayer  , 
There  humbly  fall  before  h;s  t'e.-t, 
Far   none  pan   p.-ri-ih   thiire. 

2  Thy  promise  is  my    only    plea, 

With   this   I    ventr.ro    nigh  J 
Thou  caljest  burdeu'd  souls  to  theo, 
And  Bach,  O   Lord,  am   I. 

3  Bow'd  down  beneath  a  iofld*  of  pin, 

By  Satan   sorely   press' d, 
By   war  without,  and   fear   within, 
I  com6  to    thee  for  rest. 

4  Bo*  thou  my  shield   and  hiding  place* 

That  sheltor'd  near  thy  side, 
I  may  my   fierce   accuser    face, 
And  tell   him   "thou  hast  died." 

6    Oh  l    wondtone  love,  to   Mood  and  die, 
To    bear   the   crorin  and  shame,     • 
That  guiity  s'nners,  such   as  I, 
Might   plead   thy   gracious   name.. 


5  C.    M. 

■DLESS'D  be  the  everlasting  God, 

The   Falher  of   our   Lord  ; 
Be  his  abounding  mercy  praised, 
His  majesty  adored.  • 

2  When  from   the  dead  He  raised  his  Sou, 

And   called   Him  to  the  sky, 
He  gave  our  souls  a  lively  hope,    ■ 
That  they  should  never  die.  ♦ 

3  "What  though  our  inb'ed  sins  require 

Our  flesh   to   see   the   dust;1 
Yet  as  the   Lord  our  S  vi*ur  rose, 
So  ail  hia  followers    must. 

4  There's  an   inheritance   divine, 
.  Reserved   against  that  day  ; 

'Tis  uncorrupted,   undefiled, 
And   cannot  fade   away. 

Saints  by  the  power  of   God  are  kept, 

Till   that  salvation  come  ; 
We  walk   by   faith   as   strangers  here, 

•Till  Christ  shall  call  us  home.

pOME,  my  soul,  thy  suit  prepare, 
Jesus  loves  to   answer  prayer ; 
He  himself  has  bid  thee  pray, 
Therefore  will  not  say  theo  nay. 

2    With  my  burden  I  begin, 

Lord,  remove -this  load  of  sin; 
Let  thy  blood,  for  sinners  epilt, 
Set  my  conscience  free  from  guilt. 

g   While  I  am  a  pilgrim  here, 
Let  thy  love  my  spirit  cheer ; 
As  my  Guide,"  my  Guard;  my  Friendj 
Lead  me  to  my   journey's  end. 

4    Show  me  what  I  have  to  do, 
Every  hour  my  strength  renew ; 
Let  me  live  a  life  of  faith, 
Let  me  die  thy  people's  death. 

8  c.  m: 

pOME,  let  us   join  our  cheerful  songs, 

With  angels  round  the  throne; 
Ten  thousand  thousand  are  their  tongues, 
But  all  their  joys  ai*e  one. 


WORSHIP. 

"Worthy   the  Lamb   that   died,"    they  or; 

*'To  be  exalted   thus." 
"Worthy   the   Limb,"    our  lips   reply, 

"For   He  wan   slain   for   us." 

Jesus  is  worthy  to  rec(  ive 

Honor  and  power  divine  ; 
And  blessing-   more  than  we   can  give, 

Be,  Lord,   for  <,ver  thine. 

Let  ail   that  dwell   above  the  sly, 
And   air,   and   earth,   and    Baas, 

Conspire   to  lift  thy   glories   bigb, 
And  speak   thine   endless   praise. 

The  whole  creation   join   in   one 

To  bless  the  sacred  name 
Of   Him  that  sits  upon  the  throne, 

And  to  adore  the  Lamb. 


8  S   &    7  S. 

pOME,   thou   Fount  of   every   biasing, 
Tune  my  heart  to  6im<  thy  grace 
Streams  of   mercy,   never  ceasing. 

Call   for   songs  of   loudest   praise. 
Teach   me   some   melodious   sonnet, 

Sung  by  flaming  tongues  above  ; 
Praise   the   mou   t ;    ()   tix   me  on  it, 

Mount   of   G'd's   unchanging  love. 

Oh,   to  grace   how   great  a  debtor 
Daily   I'm   constrained  to  be  ! 


SO  worship. 

Let  that  grace,  Lord,  like  a  fetter, 
Bind   my  wandering  heart  to  Thee. 

Prone  to  wander,  Lo.-d,  I  feel  it ; 
Prone  to  leave  the  God  1  love  : 

Here's  my  heart,  Lord,  take  and  seal  ii, 
Seal  it  for  thy  courts  above. 

10  C.    M. 

JiATHER  of  mercies,  in  thy  word 

What  endless  glory   shines  1 
For  ever  be  thy  name  adored, 
For  these   celestial  lines. 

2  Here  may  the  wretched  eons  of  want 

Exhaustless  riches  find  ; 
Riches,  above  what  earth  can  grant, 
And  lasting  as  the  mind. 

3  Here  the  Redeemer's  welcome  voice, 

Spread^  heavenly  pence  around  ; 
.And   life  and   everlasting  joys 
Attend  the  blissful  sound. 

4  O  may  these  heavenly  pages  be. 

My  ever  dear  delight ; 
And  still  new  beauties  may  I  see, 
And  still  increasing  light. 

5  Divine  instructer,  gracious  Lord, 

Be  thou  for  ever  near ; 
Teach  me  to  love  thy  sacred  word, 
And  view  my  Baviour  there.

WHEN  thou,  my  righteous  Judge,  eh  alt  com 
To  take  thy  ransomed  people  home, 

Shall  I  among  them   stand  ? 
Shall   such   a  worthless    worm   as   I, 
Who  sometimes  .am  afraid    to   die, 

Be   found   at  thy  right  hand? 

2    I  love  to  meet  among  them  now, 
Before- thy  gracious  feet  to  bow, 

Though  vilest  of   them  all  ; 
But  can  I  bear  the  piercing  thought, 
What  if   my  name  should  be  left  out, 

When  thou   for  them   shalt  call? 

8    Prevent,  prevent  it  by  thy  grace, 
Be  thou,  dear  Lord,  my  hiding  place, 

In  this  the  accepted  day  ; 
Thy  pardoning  voice,  O  let  me  hear, 
■    To  still  my  unbelieving  fear,. 
Nor  let  me  tall,  I  pray. 

'4    Let  me  among  thy  saints  be  found, 

Whene'er  the  archango.'s  trump  shall  sound, 

To   see  "thy  smiling  face; 
Then  loudest  of  the  crowd  I'll  sing, 
While  heaven'l  resounding  mansions  ring, 

With  shouts  of  sovereign  grace.

In  coming  to  a  mercy-seat  1

Yet   who  th:it  knows  the  worth  of  prayer, 
But  wishes  to  be  often  there? 

I    Prayer   makes  tho  darkened   cloud    withdraw, 
Prayer  climbs  the  Udder  Jacob  eaw, 
Give  to  feltta   and  love, 

Brings  every  blessing  from  above. 

lining   prayer,    we  cease   to   fight; 
Prayer  makes  th«  Christian's  armor 'bright ; 
And   Satan   trembles  when   ho  sees 
Tne   weakest   saint   upon   his  knees. 

t    Have  yon   no  words?      Ah!    think  again, 
Words   flow  apace  when  you  complain, 
And  fill   your  fellow-creature's   ear, 
With   the  ead  tale   of   all  your  care. 

5    Were  half  the  breath  thus  vainly  spent, 
To  heaven   in  supplication   sent, 
Your  cheerful  song  would  oftener    be, 
"  Hear  what  the  Lord  has  done  for  me."

And  did   my   Sovereign  die  ?

For  such    a  worm  aa  I?

Reconciled  in  him  to  God  :

Friend   of   sinners  was  his   name; 
Now  aiovo  all    glory  raised,

Still  he  calls  them  brethren,  friends, 
And  to  all  their  wants  attends.  *

Till  then,  I   boast  a   Saviour    slain  :

And  make  this  last  resolve  :

Perhaps  will  hear  my  prayer  ;

And  perish  only  there.
